The story of Sherlock Holmes, on the surface, is about detection, but in reality, it's about the best of two men who save each other - a lost, washed-up war hero and a man who could end up committing murders instead of solving them. They come together. They become this perfect unit. They become the best friendship ever, and they become heroes. That's what we fall in love with, not Sherlock on his own. No one can love that man on his own, but Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson - the best friends ever.
Steven MoffatThereโs this issue youโre not allowed to discuss: that women are needy. Men can go for longer, more happily, without women. Thatโs the truth. We donโt, as little boys, play at being married - we try to avoid it for as long as possible. Meanwhile women are out there hunting for husbands.
